If it were me, Padme would have rejected Anakin and he would have raped her. That would have signified his journey down the dark side and would explain the pregnancy resulting in Luke and Leia.
George! George! I've got this GREAT hook for Episode III!
It's cool that you can archive your life like that. Now how would you put it in an easily accessible, time-relevant format. (Was that picture taken when I was 7 or 8?)
As I read your post I realized that if I tried to do the same thing the huge gaps would probably lead me to give up pretty quickly out of pure depression.
There does not, with the exception of high school yearbooks, exist any pictures of me between grades 9 and 13. I was that much of a loner. No parties, no weekends with friends, nothing.
Being a geek or nerd is a common topic on Slashdot. Probably one way of definitively identifying yourself as one is an archive of your life being almost empty.
"The U.S. is not as highly urbanized as Canada" Numbers please.
Also I added the other questions to illustrate that the U.S. has had plenty of time and has the technological know-how to fill in the empty spots between cities.
Hell, if you can put a telephone booth in the middle of the Mojave desert in the 40's, you should be able to get broadband everywhere in the 21st century.
It's what percentage of the population lives in urban areas. The ratio is probably pretty even in all the countries listed. Korea, Japan, etc. are more dense because of smaller land area but in the end even in the U.S. the majority of the people live in cities so you would expect the rate of DSL availablity to be similar.
Obviously the list shows this is not the case, so other factors are at work.
Simple answer: Bills. The 20-year old accounting system and the groddy macros used to create the client-specific bills requires it. (All other documents are produced on Word 2K)
With the rollout of a new accounting system the need for WP will be gone and 60 legal secretaries will sigh in relief.
I don't know about the mega RAID systems descibed in this article but we're doing this with a couple of high-capacity IDE drives in a removable drive cage. The relevant system states and data are backed up to these drives daily. The time to get our databases and files up to running state in a disaster scenario is under three hours.

OK, we've all seen the smart-ass Apples v. Oranges, news at 11 posts. So what, pray tell, would it be more appropriate to compare an XP EULA to in the Free Software world?
Most of the comments suggest the GPL is developer-oriented whereas the EULA is user-oriented.
What is the EULA for Free SOftware then? Unlimited use, unlimited copying, no requirements or obligations to provide second or third-parties?
Someone needs to write the definitive GEULA. (or should that be GNEULA?)
You know. You're probably right. I've been watching IMAX films for as long as there's been IMAX films. I grew up in Toronto and worked at Ontario Place where the first IMAX theatre was located.
It was fun to go behind the scenes and go "whoa" at the size of the projector but in the end it is basically 70's technology and film taken to its physical extremes. A fully digital system as you describe may be a couple of years off but would be smaller, cheaper and far more efficient.

I wouldn't trust them to carry voice over IP over the public Internet any more than I trust their DHCP servers to consistently provide an address.
Hence the IPCop gateway on 24x7.
You beat me to to correcting all the Wile E. Coyote posts. As much as I love old Wile E. he didn't use portable holes.
Now steel barriers that spring up out of the road just as you come flying along with vitamin-fortified legs....
One word: Celestia
Being well rounded is good.
Sitting at a computer all day will make you well rounded.
But you should get out and exercise before you lose sight of your toes!
Details here.
Too bad the authorities can't decide whether it can or can't be used at all...
The reason Pixar succeeds so well is simple. It's not because the stories are all that fabulous - because in reality they're pretty simple.
Three words: For the Birds.

... because to get truely[sic] wooden performances, you need puppets.
You haven't seen UFO or Space 1999 have you?
Ah, but Zienia Merton was a cutie.
Is the medical software Windows-based?
What about Wine?
So, ummm.
Are you they guy with his eyes shut or the one with the hairy pits?
And you didn't cry at the end of Philadelphia when they're showing the home movies of when Tom Hank's character was a boy.

About how they will triple the price of this box.
They have revised the rate structure though:
Before they proposed $21.00/GB which would have added $1,260 to the cost of this box.
Now the rate strucure looks like:
1 GB or less 11.1 cents/MB
$11.50 on 1st GB
$7.98/gb on Gbs 2 to 5
$5.98/gb on Gbs 6 to 10
$3.99/gb on Gbs 11 to 20
$1.99/gb on Gbs 21 or greater
I'll leave the calculation on a 60GB drive as an exercise for the reader.
That was exactly my point.

What is the percentage of Americans living in urban areas?
How long has the U.S. had country-wide phone service?
When was the last time there was a war on U.S. soil that trashed most of the country and forced it to rebuild from scratch?

Read all the comments.
Scared, confused, upset. Only one that had a positive effect.
Maybe the question should have been phrased to specifically include positive affects.
Granted, most games are designed to appeal to the basest human instincts.
Humans are Easily Scared but Hard to Please.(tm)
Who can design the game that makes people say "Wow, after playing I wanted to go out and make the world a better place!"
Let the sarcasm begin.
Oh come on. You should know:
